Micro Maxi Scooter review

The Maxi is the step up from the Micro Mini, and for many families it is the scooter that comes next once a child outgrows the toddler model. It keeps the three-wheel, lean-to-steer layout, so a 5-year-old who learned on a Mini rides it without relearning anything, while a 9-year-old gets a bigger 13 by 5.5 inch deck and a handlebar that rises to 35.75 inches. Micro lists the front wheels at 120 mm and the rear at 80 mm, the scooter weight at 5.5 lb and the rider limit at 110 lb. A 2-year manufacturer defect warranty is included, and parts are sold separately. Micro calls it its highest-rated and most-awarded scooter, and its page cites a 2026 Parents Editor's Pick. The case against it is cost and size: $129.99 on sale and $149.99 regular is nearly three times the Razor A model, it does not fold, and a heavier teen will need a two-wheel scooter with a higher limit.
